Aberdeen have confirmed the departure of Scott Brown.

The former Celtic captain moved to Pittodrie in the summer in a player-coach role to work alongside Stephen Glass.

Glass was sacked by the club last month with Jim Goodwin taking over.

Recently-appointed boss Jim Goodwin had stated that the 36-year-old's coaching duties would be limited.

Brown has now decided to terminate his deal with Aberdeen with a view to taking up a coaching role elsewhere in the future.

Brown told the club's official website said: “I would like to take this opportunity to firstly thank the Board at Aberdeen and, of course, Stephen Glass and his backroom staff, for giving me the opportunity to enjoy my first taste of coaching.

“I’d also like to thank all my team-mates and the great staff both at Cormack Park and Pittodrie.

“I know I was only in the North-east for a short period, but the fans made me feel welcome from day one, so my thanks must also go to them for showing me so much support.

“Aberdeen is a huge Club and I know there is a real determination from all to deliver success both on and off the pitch. I wish them all the best for the remainder of the season.”
